OMG I never knew this...
"The court was limited to sentencing according to the law at the time of the offence"
This is disgraceful. With something like paedophilia especially, it shouldn't matter when it was committed. He should be sentenced in accordance with the laws at the time of sentencing, based on our current understanding of the crime. Not outdated laws that were changed for good reason! The message here is that he's partly excused for his actions because what? Society at that time was partly to blame? He's as much of a pervert as anyone committing paedophilia now under our current laws and the sentence should have reflected that.
